Report: FBI Warns of Al Qaeda 'Hit List' (Congressman, Pentagon officials, conservative pundit...)
The Atlantic Wire ^ | Friday, June 17, 2011 | Ray Gustini

Posted on 06/17/2011 7:47:32 PM PDT by kristinn

ABC News is reporting that the FBI and Department of Homeland Security have circulated a bulletin to law enforcement about a 40 person "hit list" posted to jihadi web site website Ansar al-Mujahideen.

According to ABC, the list targets "a member of Congress, Pentagon officials, a conservative pundit, executives of an American company involved in the production of drone aircraft, and two prominent French executives" and also "includes photographs of the targets and biographical information." ABC says the list emerged "after one poster highlighted Al Qaeda leader Adam Gadahn's call in a June 3 message for lone wolf attacks on American public figures and corporate institutions." In follow-up posts, according to the bulletin, "forum members posted the names of over 40 heads of government, industry and media as potential targets."

A DHS spokesman confirmed that the agency sent out the bulletin.

Update 1: Fox News reports the list includes " dozens of names connected to the Iraq War," and mentions "executives at Halliburton and KBR."

Update 2: NBC New York has seen the list and isn't publishing any of the specific names. They note, however, that "26 of [the names come] with photos attached," and say the list "includes Wall Street firms" and "leaders with think tanks"

Conservative pundit ~~ Rush? He’s the biggest, most obvious.

Ann Coulter? She doesn’t pull any punches....I’d bet one of those 2.

I hope all the people on the list take it seriously and get some protection.

the ONLY reason for the NYT to keep a secret is to protect some people at the NYT

If they got the names and addresses of 26 CIA chiefs of station, or SEAL Team 6, they’d publish them all

Has this list been released??

We are making it really easy for them. They don’t have to try and get past security at ports etc.

All they have to do is cross the Southern Border. Their chances are probably about 99% of making it successfully.

Conservative Pundit?

Levin, Savage or Medved.

They are all Jewish.

Why don’t they pass a Fatwa against Obama? After all, he’s was born of a Mooslum father and has since declared his “Christianity” in total disregard and disrespect to the Holy Karan and other Mooslum customs and traditions. If you’re born a Mooslum, you’re a Mooslum for life. . . right? Hey I didn’t make the rules, but wouldn’t mind if someone enforced them.

After reading Dinesh D’Souza’s book, seems the LIBERAL LEFT is held in contempt by jihadists, although, we are ALL “infidels”.

Being Christian or Jewish (and not moslem) we are ALL hated...but, the liberals embrace abortion, gays, pornography and atheism. The liberals may be the first on the menu.

Were I to venture a guess it would be Rove, considering the source. Just a guess though.

Maybe Glenn Beck? He’s got a hilarious impersonation of Adam Gadahn; that might piss those guys off some.

The Won, alone, made the decision to get OBL, all but personally made the shell and inserted it. Or at least that’s what he’s lead us to believe.

Who would be the lone Congressman on the list? A republican, for sure, because democraps don’t give a flip if they sell this country out to the enemy. How about ..... Peter King?

"Or at least that’s what he’s lead us to believe."

If The Won got on TV tonight and told me that the sun would rise in the east tomorrow morning, I'd be up at the crack of dawn with a campus. . . just to make sure! LOL
